Major section of Savarkundla-Amreli NH has been washed out after rain in Gujarat.
Nitin Gadkari is busy in pushing ethanol but can't see problems of roads which is his department work.
It isn't an isolated case, every year same thing gets repeated during monsoon yet no accountability over it.
When will Gadkari starts focusing on his own work instead of jumping to ethanol policy?
@nishkumar1977 Seems to be like we need to run a campaign like this for 5/10 years , to educate the civic sense.
Not only for noise cancer, we also need to run for roads ( 📯 ), Tambaku eaters and to the people who are shameful enough to pee anywhere openly.
I travel across Europe by trains. People mind their business, read books, or the ones listening to music have their headphones on. Once in a while all you can hear is an infant crying.
I'm right now in a Vande Bharat train. Literally 30% passengers are watching YouTube or insta reels on their speaker phones. Ringtones so loud that even the next coach can hear it. People screaming and not actually talking.
Why can't we a little bit more civic, a bit more civilized. Why can't we understand that somebody's entertainment can be a nuisance for others. Same behaviour we carry abroad and then get called out.
When will we learn????
A 7,000 crore project, opened two months ago, blocked within a few days of rainfall.
This is what happens when infra projects exist to finance party splits. 👏👏
Potholes on Missing Link were defended with 'first layer,second layer' excuses. Now an entire slab collapse at the tunnel entrance! What's the excuse now, Fadnavis?
Stop blinding citizens with heavy rain script.This is blatant corruption & substandard work playing with our lives
So missing link is now flooded and apparently closed.
Probably part of the first rain testing plan mentioned by CM Devendra Fadnavis the other day when speaking about 2 potholes.
Literally the first major rain and we are exposed!
You would think they plan for Landslides, heavy rains as the first thing when building a project in Sahyadris but no!
Corruption of the highest order?!?!?!

MUMBAI RAINS: A landslide has been reported near the exit of Tunnel 2 on the newly opened ‘Missing Link’ of the Mumbai–Pune Expressway after heavy rain, forcing traffic to be suspended. The images are alarming. Please stay safe, everyone. Prayers for all. 🙏
(And yes, an obvious question: if a single spell of heavy rain can trigger such disruption, are we building infrastructure that’s truly monsoon-ready?)
On May 8, 2025, as Pakistani drones and missiles were intercepted over Indian airspace during Operation Sindoor, a retired scientist watched the reports come in on television. "This is the happiest day of my life," said Dr. Prahlada Ramarao. He had spent 15 years building the weapon that was doing the intercepting.
The story begins in 1983 at DRDO's laboratory in Hyderabad, where Prahlada was a junior scientist working alongside Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. India had just approved the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme, charged with building five missile systems from scratch. Kalam chose Prahlada, still in his thirties, to lead Akash, the most complex of the five.
"I was young and scared about handling such a massive responsibility," Prahlada would later say. Kalam's instruction was simple: get it done.
The challenge was daunting. India needed a surface-to-air missile capable of engaging multiple fast-moving aircrafts simultaneously, each equipped with electronic warfare designed to defeat the radar tracking it. The Rajendra Radar, a Passive Electronically Scanned Array system, was Akash's eye and ear for every engagement. Prahlada coordinated 1,000 scientists across 12 laboratories, solving signal processing failures and electronic jamming in a phased array comprising roughly 4,000 discrete elements. Development took fifteen years from first principles to battlefield readiness.
The Rajendra can track up to 64 aerial targets and engage 12 of them concurrently. Akash's total development cost came in 8 to 10 times lower than comparable foreign systems. Countries including Armenia have since placed export orders. Prahlada received the Padma Shri in 2015, virtually unknown to the public he spent a career protecting.
More than four decades after Kalam handed him the project, his missile system went to war for India.
That is what indigenous defence technology looks like when it is given the time, the trust, and the people it deserves.
Shocking incident at Bundelkhand Medical College, Sagar: A female doctor alleges BJP Yuva Morcha leader Anil Shrivastava inappropriately touched her back during night duty and threatened to shoot her for resisting. Police have registered an FIR for molestation and threats. Doctors protest, demanding arrest. This raises serious questions about women's safety in healthcare settings amid political influence.

Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett on Ethanol blending in Petrol:
“Ethanol blending is a very stupid way to try and solve an energy problem.”
“It takes more fossil fuel energy to create ethanol than you can get out of ethanol you’ve created.”

Most of Indian middle class wants to avoid conflict, people are so busy making ends meet that even standing up for a just concern seems indimidating.
Unlike the developed countries where rule of law gives you confidence to stand up. Here system is designed to exhaust you and sadly the whistleblower and all those who come forward may actually become unemployable
A 13 year old girl gang raped by 30 Indian men.
This case should shake the entire nation. Instead,the Indian mainstream media and the government remain largely silent.
How many more such cases will it take before women's safety becomes a priority instead of just an election slogan?
The silence surrounding the brutal five-day gang-rape of an innocent 13-year-old girl by 30 men in Ganganagar is absolutely deafening.
There are no protests, no mainstream news broadcasts and no trending topics on X for an act so monstrous.
It raises a disturbing question: is the public and media look the other way purely because this happened under a BJP administration?
Everything is allowed under BJP watch?
@REDBOXINDIA That's the issue with the BJP govt. The intent is often right, but the execution falls short.
If the govt wants people to adopt E20 petrol, why not offer it at a lower price?
It feels like pushing code to production without proper performance testing.
very disappointed 😞
